Hurray for Chili!! We had our vet appointment this morning and the vet said she seems to be improving!!! YAY!!
Well I think she is improving because last night I saw the first glimpse of her puppy life coming out. When we adopted her she was very calm and sweet and didn't want to do anything wrong. Well, last night that all changed! She was jumping around the house, barking, chewing and not listening to a thing her mom was telling her!
I took her for a long walk, out on the hour every hour to "go potty" and she still took a poop in the house. To make matters worse she has had diarrhea and did it on the carpet! I caught her in the act and yelled "NO!" which immediately prompted her to run through the poop, around the house, on the ivory couch and lay down. It was a mess to clean up and I was annoyed!
But that's all part of being a puppy and I'm so glad she is going to be ok so today we are beginning to crate train and do all the stuff we felt bad doing to her when she was sick. We still have one more appointment on Friday for X-Rays but the sun is shining and Chili was soaking it up!

Pray for Chili
So, I just got back from the vet and it is not good news. Chili has almost little to no room in her lungs due to all the fluid. The vet thinks her chance of survival is 50/50. We are giving her an extremely aggressive amount of antibiotics and praying for the best.
We have until Wednesday AM, when she will get her next X-Rays and see how she is progressing. If she has not improved or the situation has worsened we will have to put her down. I really pray and hope that she turns around!
Right now I'm pissed off at the SPCA for sending home such a sick dog with a loving family. Adopting a shelter dog saves lives and families willing to do so should not be adopting and falling in love with a sick dog. Not only have we invested a thousand dollars in this dog, we have our hearts invested. To have to put her down would be extremely difficult.
To make matters worse, when we adopted the dog the woman working the counter was rude and pardon my french a bitch! The only compensation financially and emotionally they give you is, return the dog and exchange it. Like it's a piece of clothing.
I'm just really upset and pissed off right now and really hope she makes it! Pray for her in the next 24 hours and hopefully a few months from now we are writing happy Chili stories!
